Do You Have a Bad Tire? How to Tell

Don’t Underestimate the Importance of Good Tires

You and your family matter to Integrity Automotive in Williamstown, New Jersey. Therefore, we urge you never to underestimate the importance of your tires.

Signs That You Might Have a Bad Tire

In case you’re wondering how to spot a lousy tire before it goes flat or blows out, we can assist you with that, too. First, vigilance is key. Tire air pressure should be monitored regularly. It’s bad to operate with either too little or too much psi. Also, keeping an eye on your tires will ensure that you have a sufficient amount of treat. The least that’s safe for operation is 2/32″. (This is the absolute minimum. You may actually need tires before reaching this point to maintain adequate traction.) Second, obtaining routine services is important. Be sure to have your tires rotated and balanced as recommended to promote even wear. Third, be aware of these telling signs. Other than the tread wear that should always be monitored, the greatest indicator of a bad tire is that it wobbles, especially when you’re traveling at a low rate of speed. You may also notice a new, steady noise such as a hum. Finally, you could start to feel that you’re slipping when conditions aren’t perfect (wet pavement, curves, etc.). That’s an indicator of poor traction. All of these signals can result from tire trouble, but they can also point to other issues. Therefore, let us sort out the underlying cause(s) for you.
